Mr. Lybrate-user, normal sugar level is same for a non diabetic person or one with diabetes. To say that your diabetes is in good control, fasting should be nearer 100 mg and pp between 150 to 160 mg. And hba1c%<7. To achieve this apart from appropriate treatment diet control and exercise are also equally important.

Hello madam,
blood sugar level of 202 post lunch is not normal and you must undergo further testing. You have to undergo a test named hba1c which will help to determine your blood sugar level over past three months and in turn help to understand if you are suffering from diabetes. For itching and dryness, you can apply hydramost lotion all over your body or only on the area where you get itching. Dryness causes itching which in turn increases the dryness and further increases itching.

Mr Sushil Kumar, BGR - 34, tablets, is a combination of some herbal extracts, supposed to be working on diabetes mellitus. But the researchers themselves have said that it has not been tried in human beings, there are no clinical trials to show its benefits in controlling blood sugar in humans. According the details available, it has been tried only on rats, there too it has shown 67% efficacy, which is same as placebos. So there is no question of this drug being effective in treating diabetes in humans. Rest I leave it to your judgement.

Trulicity is basically once a week glp-1 analogue injection. Its a very new concept introduced in india. It is supposed to have a lesser gastrointestinal side effects like nausea & vomitting as compared to the ones which are available for daily injections like victoza.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Doing good amount of exercise, taking a healthy balanced diet that provides exact calories as required definitely helps in better control of blood glucose levels. Since there is no mention of either the medication being taken and actual blood glucose levels and HbA1c%, there is no way to assess whether your glucose levels are in control. For a young person with T2 DM it is essential to maintain FBG < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c%< 6.8. If not then you are inviting various long term complications of diabetes affecting every single vital organ.
As regards giving a specific diet plan, I need to know your current dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, current medication with proper dosage. Then only I will be able to give a diet plan. Thanks.

You can eat any food. Please maintain an ideal weight according to your height. The BMI should be in the normal range. So you should eat all healthy food and not just focus on milk and eggs. A balanced diet is ideal. Include more fruits and vegetables everyday as they contain fresh vitamins and other nutrients which can be easily absorbed. With proper nutritional support and exercise the bones become naturally strong. Exercise everyday along with some basic yoga and pranayama to overcome your thyroid problem in a very natural way. Take rest for 6-8 hrs and avoid all bad habits. Repeat the tests again after 4-5 months. You can also take the help of Homeopathy if there is not much improvement. You can contact me for a private consultation and further guidance.

it is very bad if no treatment is being taken for diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can cause serious damage to almost all vital organs and systems in the body. Diabetes can cause retinopathy leading to blindness. It can affect small and big blood vessels affecting kidneys, heart, peripheral blood vessels. In india alone more than 1 lac legs are amputated due to diabetic foot problems. It causes severe neuropathy and loss of sensation in lower limbs. Causes silent heart attacks. I do not understand why treatment was stopped by you. If very competent doctor was treating, then his treatment and instructions should be followed.
With the high blood glucose levels mentioned you will have to start on insulin injections or else you are heading for serious problems. Thanks.

Diabetes is basically a disorder of the metabolism causing excessive thirst and the production of large amounts of urine. To further elaborate one need to understand the role of insulin in the body. While eating, the body turns food into sugar or glucose. At that time pancreas is supposed to produce the right amount of insulin to move the glucose from our blood into our cells. In diabetics, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin, or the body cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. Due to this, glucose levels rise in the blood, floods into the urine and passes out of the body, making the body lose its main source of fuel. Diabetes is of many types, but the most common is Type 1 and Type 2.

How to treat Diabetes:

Controlling blood sugar level is the major goal of diabetes treatment, in order to prevent complications of the disease. Treatment may be in Allopathy or Homeopathy, conventional medicine often uses insulin itself in the treatment of diabetes. Since this is kind of replacement, so diabetes becomes a life-long disease. Homeopathy can be used effectively in the treatment. Let’s see how diabetes can be worked with Homeopathy.

Diabetes & Homeopathy

In homeopathy, the main focus is on functioning of the pancreas in efficient insulin production. There are specific medicines which are used effectively in the treatment of all the stages of the diseases.

Homeopathic treatment can help improve the general health of a person with diabetes:

If a person with diabetes is in good health, his or her insulin requirements will be steady and the blood glucose well controlled at the same time.

If the general health is poor, it can be very difficult to achieve good control.

Homeopaths resort to different approaches towards diabetes Management of Blood Sugar. First is when the blood sugar level is very high, the priority is to control it and there are homeopathic remedies that could reduce the sugar. The commonly used remedies are Uranium Nitricum, Phosphoric Acid etc. These are classical homeopathic remedies.

Depending on the level of the blood sugar and the requirement of the patient, doses are given with doctor’s consultation. It’s a holistic approach in medicine. This treats the patient taking into consideration the mental, emotional and physical peculiarities of the person who is affected with this state. In this, it is considered that the disease is a mere deviation in life force and hence all the efforts are to correct this disorder. The treatment will be to bring into balance the various systems involved in diabetes, for example, pancreas, hormones, and your immune system. Treatment will again be different if you have other ailments along with diabetes.

Homeopathy regards health as a state of balancing the equilibrium of the life force. Whatever treatment is taken it’s always advisable to be in regular touch with the doctor and keep sharing the health status with the doctor. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Homeopath.
